I am excited to be running for the Ocean View School District Board. My husband and I are local business owners and have made Huntington Beach our home for the past 18 years. Six of our children have attended schools in the Ocean View School District. Over the past 18 years, I have been an active volunteer in my community. I have volunteered in eac... h of my childrens schools, participated as a member of each schools PTA, participated in many fundraising events and always assisted whenever and wherever I was needed. I am also currently serving on the City of Huntington Beach Finance Commission. I became very concerned after I was appointed to the OVSD Bond Oversight Committee representing the OC Tax Association. While serving on the committee, it became apparent to me that transparency and accountability were non-existent. The governance of the district had deteriorated. OVSD is deficit spending and reducing student programs resulting in lower test scores and an annual drop in student enrollment. Thats when I knew I had to do more than just volunteer. I decided to run for OVSD School Board because I feel an obligation to give back to the community that I love. As a mother, I want the best for my children and I want the best for the community in which we live. As a business owner, I have the management and financial skills to address the many issues facing the district. If you elect me to OVSD school board, I promise to: I am an independent candidate and need your help to get elected.
